Students who have enough financial aid awarded and accepted will have their registration fees deferred until their financial aid payout date(s). Students with financial aid amount(s) in the “accepted” status that are insufficient to cover the total of required registration fees must pay the remaining balance before the payment deadlines listed under Fee Payment Deadlines. The total of required registration fees must be paid and/or deferred to avoid being dropped from classes. Students that are not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress must also pay their registration fees by the payment deadlines. Financial Aid recipients uncertain about financial aid amounts must contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office at (209) 667-3336 for specific instructions. Registration fees and other debts to the University will be deducted from the first available financial aid, regardless of type of aid, including loans.
Financial Aid applicants who have not yet been awarded financial aid will only have their registration fees deferred if they have applied for financial aid and have completed their financial aid file. Students that have not completed their financial aid file or have a student loan that they haven’t accepted will not be eligible for a fee deferment. A student is able to view their status with the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office on their myStanState account. If a student is not eligible for a fee deferment, they must pay required fees by the payment deadline.
Note: Students with Financial Aid Fee Deferments agree by accepting the deferment of their registration fees that they are fully liable to the University for their registration fees, whether or not they ultimately obtain or accept financial aid or attend classes. If they do not pay the required fees, the only way to cancel their obligation to the University is to officially withdraw from courses by the Full Refund Deadline for the term. See “Refund Deadlines” for specific dates and Refund Policy.
